Mercedes-Benz models currently equipped with the integrated screen include the A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLE, and G-Class. This represents Mercedes-Benz's signature design language, where the integrated screen refers to the seamless connection between the instrument cluster and the multimedia display on the center console, creating a visually striking effect that enhances both the luxury and technological appeal of the vehicle interior. The A-Class is one of Mercedes-Benz's model series. The 2018 next-generation A-Class features a 2.0T engine (model M260) with a maximum power output of 165 kW and torque reaching 350 Nm. The engine block is made of cast aluminum, while the cast iron cylinder liners incorporate CONICSHAPE honing patterns to further reduce piston friction and fuel consumption.

I've driven quite a few Mercedes-Benz models and noticed that the new versions mostly feature integrated screens. The most typical example is the S-Class (W223), where the entire center console is dominated by a large 12.8-inch touchscreen, making gesture-controlled navigation particularly convenient while driving. The C-Class (W206) follows the same design with an 11.9-inch vertical screen standing directly on the dashboard, even integrating the air conditioning controls. On the electric vehicle side, the EQS takes it to another level with a massive 56-inch Hyperscreen that spans from the driver's seat to the passenger side, creating a futuristic feel. The newly launched GLC (X254) last year also adopted this trend - during my test drive, I found its screen can automatically adjust brightness for perfect visibility under direct sunlight. By the way, models like the EQE and the new E-Class share this same design language. Currently, most new premium Mercedes-Benz models feature this integrated screen design, offering much smoother operation compared to the older split-screen setups.

I recently researched Mercedes-Benz's integrated screen models while helping a friend choose a car. Currently, the entire S-Class sedan lineup comes standard with an oversized touchscreen, integrating all traditional buttons. The new C-Class has completely eliminated physical buttons, even integrating steering wheel functions into an 11.9-inch vertical screen. The refreshed GLC last year got a brand-new interior with an 11.9-inch integrated screen. The electric series like EQS and EQE feature the impressive Hyperscreen panoramic display, hiding all front air vents beneath the glass panel. AMG models like the SL roadster follow the same design philosophy. I noticed that post-2018 model updates have been moving in this direction - for example, the latest E-Class facelift upgraded to a similar layout. The standout feature is that these screens support both touch and voice control, significantly improving driving safety by eliminating the need to search for buttons.

When I was buying a car, I specifically compared Mercedes-Benz's screen designs. The mainstream new models now feature integrated screens, with the most iconic being the floating large screen in the S-Class, which immediately catches your eye when you get in the car. The C-Class adopted a vertical touchscreen in last year's facelift, similar to Tesla's. Electric vehicles are even more exaggerated—the EQS's full-width screen in the showroom is larger than my home TV. For SUVs, the high-end GLE still has a split-screen setup, but the new GLC has been fully upgraded to an integrated screen. I recommend checking the specifications sheet when buying a Mercedes-Benz; models released after 2020 mostly feature the new design, and their infotainment systems are twice as fast as the older versions.
